ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIR C UlT.—DEvizEs, Ava. 13. CROWN COURT.— William Watson was indicted for bigamy. Mr. HODGES conducted the case for the prosecution ; and Mr. BALL appeared for the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner married in 1828 at Liverpool • that in consequence of embarrassments he afterwards left Liverpool, taking his wife with him, and taking up their abode at St. Alban's; they shortly after wrote to her mother to fetch her, which she did, and there never had been any communi cation between the parties since. In 1836 the prisoner mar ried again at Bristol,but it was not t ill latel y that it had come to the knowledge of the pirents of the first wife. Mr. BALL took an objection, that, as the prisoner bad not been proved to have been aware of his first wife being living within seven years, he could not be convicted; and he cited the case of " The Queen v. Disney," Central Criminal Court, January, 1838. Mr. Baron PARKE thought this conclusive, and directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner. George Thorn was indicted for stealing a quantity of bristles and a brush, the property of his master, John Wilkins, at Trowbridge. Mr. Smith and Mr. Slade conducted the case for the pro secution, and Mr. Bingham and Mr. Bere appeared for the prisoner, who was a very respectable young man. The evidence for the prosecution was this—that the prisoner was in a confidential employment in the service of the prose cutor, receiving a salary of 1001. a-year, and under an agree ment to have 50 per cent. upon the profits when they amounted to a certain sum. That after the prisoner had been in the service four years some suspicion attached to him, and in consequence the prosecutor caused a few bristles to be tied in a particular manner, and also poured some lavender-water over a small quantity of the bristles and hair. These bundles were missed on the following day, and the prisoner was seen putting a small bundle into his pocket. The prisoner's house was then searched, and the bristles and hair were found in some drawers in his bed-room. All this happened on the 2d and 3d of April. On the 19th of May, a small bit of paper was picked up under a desk in the prosecutor's shop, on which was a small account in the prisoner's handwriting, in which he had charged himself with these articles, and it was proved that he had sometimes purchased articles of the prosecutor. The papers in the prisoner's possession at the gaol were then searched, and a letter written to a young girl, of the name of Margaret Rymer, who was engaged to the prisoner, was found. A portion of this sheet of paper was torn off, and upon comper ing the memorandum with that sheet they were found exactly to correspond ; and this letter had been received by the prisoner in the gaol. Mr. Bieonem, haying addressed the jury for the prisoner, resting his defence upon the intention of the prisoner to have accounted for the articles, called witnesses; and Tilt he called Margaret Rymer, an exceedingly nice well-spoken-girl, who had sat by the side of the prisoner's dock the whsle time, and at whose expense it was understood the defence was got up. She was put in the box, and she stated at the time of tLe ap. prehension of the prisoner he had given her some letter-paper. Teat sometime at, er she was writing to the prisoner, and after writing on the one side she observed the paper bad been torn, but she had sent it as it was. That-she bad told her father of it at the moment ; and when she heard that the memorandum was found, she had thought about it, and the feet of the muti lated sheet of I steer crossed her mind, and she called the cir cumstances to her father's recollection. The witness underwent a very long cross-examination both by the prosecutor's counsel and by the Judge. She could not state the time when the circumstance had come to her recol lection—whether it was a week or two months ago she could not say. She had folded the letter up in a manlier she de scribed, but then part of the writing inside could be seen; it was enclosed in a parcel. (This letter stated that it was accompanied by a piece of bride-cake, and a pair ,of wedding gloves (her sister's wedding), and the writer stated that he had better return the gloves to her, as she wished them to be first worn upon an important occasion (their own wedding) ; she added, that the party were extremely happy on that day, hut how different were her feelings ! The letter was written to she prisoner when be was in gaol upon this charge. The father of this young woman stated, that he recollected his daughter saying she had written a letter upon a sheet of paper that was torn, and that at a subsequent period she had called the circumstance to his recollection. Several witnesses were called, who not only stated the prsonei's character to have been good, but that it was excrn- Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, the Jury in a few minutes found a verdict of Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his good character. M. South sai 1 there was another indictment against the priioner for ernhczzlement. Mr. Baron PARKE said it was a very bad case, and he would defer judgment till the morning. The trial lastel till 11 o'clock at night. The attention cf Miss Rymer to the prisoner, and the in structions slle was continually giving to her attornies, and the cairn manner in which she gave her evidence, created unusual int ~ r c st. DREADFUL FIRF. IN TUE CITY.—For several hours this morning the eastern portion of the city was in a state of alarm be a fire breaking out on the premises of Mr. King upholsterer and cabinet-maler, in Camomile.street, Bishopseate-street. The fire must have been smouldering for a considerable period before actually seen, so that there was no time to conorni:nicate intelligence of it before the horizon was illuminated to such a degree that it was visl'e from a great distance. The scene that presented itself when the discovery was magic, which took place about half-past twelve o'clock, was ex ceeding'y distressing, and excited the sympathy of every one pre sent : females were rushing out of the buildings adjacent to the one on fire almost in a state of nudity, having no other covering than their night habiliments ; goods and furniture of every description were thrown out into the s• reel: and soon destroyed or stole n. Under. neath the workshops and show rocros of Mr. King were stables, tenanted by Mr. Mack:non and Mr. White, butchers ; in them were several horses and twenty sheep. The work of destruction was ainazingly rapid. It was not until near half past two o'clock in the meriting that the flames couldbe said to be get under. It was reported that the entire property is insured in one of the London fire offices to the full arneunt of tip -e darange. There are several houses in Came mi'e-street much injured by fire, by the hose of th a engines being taken throug , , and by the removal of their contents, It gives 113 much gratification to state that no human lives were lost. _ _ _ A few days ago a clerk in the Bank of England made, in the hurry uf businrss, a mistake which placed him in some tiqnculty. A person handed him a 1001. note and a 501. note for sovereigns. Instead of giving 150 sovereigns the clerk handed over 300 to the stranger, who waAcd off with his prize. The mistake hay _ ing bja:) discovered in the course of the day the clerk sent for Daniel Forres!er. 1,:ho immetliately went to the place of ad:ress mentioned or - - the face of one of the notes, and judging that the lucky stranger would not be in haste to return the balance, proceeded v2ry cautiously in his inquiry. At last he observed a man whose avearance answered that of the person described to him by the loser, and walking up addressed him by name. 'l'na man having replied to the address, Forrester suddenly told him that the 130 sovereigns which were taken in a rnis'ake at the Bank in the course of the morning were wante,l. " One hundred and fifty sovere;gns a mistake :" said the hon e st fellow ;" I was not at the Bank at all, and I know nothing of the sovereigns, I assure yon." " Oh, yes you do," said Forrester, " you received 300 ins'ea.l of ;50, and you must come with me." "I do assure you," persi , tl the man, " that I received no more than 150. I admit I was at the Bank, but I got no more than I was entitled to." I am sorry to hear you say so," observed Forrester, " for what is now considered at the bank as merely a mistake, will soon be called by another name, and treated differently." They had not walked far together towards Cornhill, when the man sud denly started and raid, " God bless me; now I recollect that I did receive more than I ought." " I thought you'd remember it at last, sir," said the officer, " although I was afraid you wouldn't be able to make the discovery without my assistance." The 130 sovereigns were soon refunded, to the very great delight of the hank clerk, and the worthy person whose hope of plunder was thus disappointed, but whose name and address we regret we have not been supplied with, was allowed to walk away. It appears that he was to have sailed for Arn , :rica in the evening, and the officer, upon inquiring at the house where he lodged, was told that no person of the name that was mentioned resded there. Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the Crown Tavern, ClifThrd's Inn passage, Fleet-street, on the body of John aged 59, whose death occurred under circumstances of great misery and destitution. It apreetred from the evidence that about three weeks hack the deceased, his wife, and daughter, a girl about twelve years of age, took a room in a house in Hen and Chicken-court, St. Dunstan's. The deceased on taking the lodging, informal his landlord, Mr. Shop. herd, t hat he was a carpenter and in week. During the List week the deceased and his family were not, seen or heard cf. On Saturday the suspicion of the other lodgers oeing excited, they went to the landlord, who caused the door of tite deceased's room to be burst open, when the deceased, his wife and child, were discovered lying on the floor nearly in a state of nudity, and quite insensible. The man, in fact, was on the eve of dissolution. The room was entirely destitute of furniture, fuel, and food. Mr. Shepherd instantly caused the attendance of Mr. Carman, the relieving officer of the West London Union, to which the ward is at tached, and subsequently Mr. Dunn, the surgeon of the ward, was sent for, but before his arrival the deceased expired. Mr. Dunn succeeded in bringing the poor woman and child round, and they are now in a fair way of reco very. The deceased had never applied to the Union for re lief. The girl was examined, and she said that her father and mother had expressed their determination to die rather than apply for relief. Verdict—" Natural death by fever, accelerated by want." OPIUM VENDERS OF CONSTANTINOPLE.— '-Talking of drinking and (tramming, put me in mind of the opium -eaters, on a number of whom the Sultan played a capital trick some time back. He was passing through a quarter of the city where they sold the noxious drug, and the thought struck him that as the father of his peo ple he was bound to put a stop to so pernicious a practice ; so, without more ado, he pulled down all the shops, over the site of which I have several times had the honour of walking, and sent every single soul he itrund in them to the mad-house, which happens to be close by, and there they remained with iron collars round their necks an d chained to the walls for two or three months, at the end of which time his sublime Highness let them out on their solemn promise never to go mad any more.—Three Months' Leave. POOR-LAW RIOTS AT DEWSBURY.—A serious - riot occurred at Dewsbury on Monday, in connection with the introduc tion of the new Poor-law. A violent and lawless mob drove the guard_ Sans out of the room in which they were sitting, and committed great viol2nce on the persona of two of them. It is stated in the Bradford , Observer, that, prior to these rio tous p =speeches had been delivered by Mr. Fearrmedings, gus e very inflammatory =speeches and Mr. Oastler, y who urged the populace to prevent by force the introduction of the new law. If this statement should be well founded, we trust the law officers of the Crown will take speedy cognizance o f the conduct of these mis chievous agitators. Up to a certain point, we think Government has been wise in disregarding their effusions ; but when incitements to vio lence are followed by actual outrage, the time for forbearance is gone tby ; and whatever may be done in the way of punishing the actual rioters, we trust that those by whom they have been stimulated to crime —if any such th ere are—w ill no t b e su ff e red to escape with impunity. —Manchester Guardian. Miers, the common informer, attended at Hatton' garden yesterday to support an information against a beer -shop keeper, for suffering gambling in his house. He called witnesses, every one of whom, however, protested that he knew nothing of the matter. The magistrates thought they had been bribed to silence, and ordered them n be turned out of the office. EMBEZZLEMENT.—A young man named Wilson, late a clerk in the employment of Mr. Sweet, bookseller, of Chan cery-lane, was yesterday committed fur trial from Guildhall, on a charge of receiving the amount of several bills due to his master without the authority of the latter.

THOMAS, PUBLISHER, 19, Catherine-street, Strand. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 20 minutes past Three o' Clock, LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1838. The rejection of Mr. Pout,Err THOMSON'S Trading Companies Amendment Biil by the House of Lords last night, places the President of the Board of Trade in a very deserved, but the reverse of enviable, position be fore the country. To figure as the framer of an Act so absurd as to be, in consequence of its absurdity, wholly inoperative, is ridiculous enough; but to have that in opera- lion lauded by such a clear-sighted Statesman as Lord BROUGHAM ar; a national blessing, is tantamount to a de claration that there are occasions, and those very impor tant ones, when the President of the Board of Trade's folly is more than a match for his cunning —when, in fact, the Right Hon. Gentleman may have the will, with out the ability, to be a very dangerous Member of the Legislature. The LOAD CHANCELLOR, to whom the guardianship of Mr. POULETT THOMSON'S Bill was en trusted, affected to regard as a great amendment of the law as at: present existing, that the members of Trading Companies could be sued under it to the amount of their respective shares. We confess that we are of a very dif ferent opinion. The right to sue and to be sued, to be worth anything as a protection to individuals and the public, must be vested in the Chairman alone. Suppose under Mr. POULETT THOMSON'S Bill, that an Incorporated Company was indebted to an indisidual to the amount of 10,000/., and that the liabilities of the several shareholders (111 not exceed 1001 each. The creditor demands payment which being refused, instead of one action, he is obliged to bring one hundred against as many several individuals for the recovery of the debt. But this is nut all The legal expenses are, as a matter of course, ren dered liable to be increased an Ittrulied fold—to the mate ruin of every trading Company in the kingdom. Such would be the operation of Mr. POULETT THOM SON'S Trading Companies' Act, provided the House of Lords had not had the good sense, finding it inoperative, to allow it to remain so. It is true that a creditor might not be able to institute so many actions ; but in that case the President of the Board of Trade's Amendment Bill would enable all Companies to rob their poor creditors with abso- lute impunity. When the National Loan Fund and Life Assurance Society's Bill was before Parliament—a Bill in the success of which a desire to promote the best interests of the mid dling and working classes induced us to take a lively interest—Mr. POULETT THOMSON had the modesty to recommend the Directors to propitiate his support by not daring to take precedence of the miserable legislative abor tion strangled last night by Lord BROUGHAM. Fortunately for themselves and the country, the Directors of the Na tional Loan Fund were too well aware of the degree of in fluence possessed by Mr. P. THotsoN, to perform a part so gratifying to the vanity of an incompetent Minister. Had they acted otherwise, where now would have been the National Loan Fund Bill ? Lost for this Session at least, and, in consequence of his support, most likely for ever. As a Minister, Mr. POULETT TitomsoN's career is well nigh run at this moment. The Legislative glory of the " young Baltic merchant," elevated to the Presidency of the Board of Trade,waxes dim—even in Manchester. How much the Liberal Press did to elevate Mr. PouLETT THosfsoN to the seat in the Cabinet which he now occu pies, cannot yet be forgotten, even by himself : how greatly that Press was mistaken, and how sensible it is of that mistake, may be inferred from the tone of the article which we arc now writing. As we said before, Mr. Pou- LETT THoissoN has had his day ; he has been weighed in the Ministerial balance, and—found wanting. Lord LYNDHURST condescended last night, in the House of Lords, to make himself the mouthpiece and the instrument of Mr. URQUHART, and the little knot of Tories, at Glasgow, whom this pragmatical gentleman has persuaded that he is an oracle of diplomacy and trade, and whom he has roused up to petition Parliament. Their United complaints turn on two points—the decay of our trade, and the loss of our political influence ; and on both we shall say a few words. • Our readers who remember the communication we in. serted about four months ago, describing the num ber of foreign ships that frequented the Havannah and other places as compared to the number of English ships, and remember how clearly that difference was traced to the Corn-laws, will readily admit we believe, that our fo reign trade is likely to decay, and will be at no loss to assign the reason for it. We have on the one hand a law to make food dear, which affects all the products of our labour, and gives a corresponding advantage to all those rival nations who can get their food at as cheap a rate as it can be grown ; and on the other we have a standard of value which, bein g , higher than that of other nations, gives to the , whole of them an a dvantage of some 3 or 4 per cent. on THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1838. all our mutual transactions. We will not allow the corn of Germany, and the United States, or the sugar of the Brazils and the Havannah—the coffee of St. Domingo, and the timber of Norway, to be brought into the country ; we will not, therefore, allow the Brazilians, the Ha vannaliese, the Norwegians, &c., to trade with us, and of course, our foreign trade decays. But let us not blame others, let us blame our knavish landlords for making, and our foolish people for submitting to laws which strangle the national prosperity and starve the people. We are sure that our foreign trade, is not as flourishing as it might be, and for that our suicidal starvation laws are wholly in fault. Lord LYNDHURST pointed to the German commercial league, as something which had done us injury, and which our diplomacy might have pre vented. God forbid such an attempt should have been made. The great object and effect of that league is to put an end to many of the trammels which did exist to the internal communication of Germany, in consequence of its being divided into so many States. A greater blessing could not be conferred on that country by its Sovereigns, and it would have been a crime in England to have impeded or prevented so admirable a work. The consequence is, that our goods, once entered within the league circulate freely over all the countries com prised in it, instead of having to pay a dozen different Cus tom-house duties, and their consumption has increased. The rate of the tariff at which they are allowed to enter into the league is another question, and as long as we set the example of making war on the industry of Germany by those Corn-laws which starve our own people, so long we are deprived of all right to complain, even if the commercial 1 league were wholly to exclude every English commodity. We pass now, not, however, having exhausted the other topic, to the decay of our influence. We had a great in fluence with the Continental nations, probably when we were engaged in fighting their battles, subsidising all the Powers of Europe, and incurring that vast loadof debt which now burdens us in the race of contending nations. It ought, in our estimation, to be a subject of rejoicing that we no longer have the influence ;:caused by such a profligate and enor mous expenditure. If, however, it be said, that the ex ample of England, that her manners and her institutions, her arts and her inventions, have less influence in Europe now than before, we assert that never in the whole courso of her great and glorious history was her influence so all commanding as now. She leads the march of civilization. She is not at war, and no linger exerts the influence of arms, she lives in blessed peace, and exerts an influence over the progress and welfare of other nations, which is not equalled by any Power that is, or ever was in the world. Do Mr. URQUH A RT, the Glasgow petitioners, and their mouth-piece in the House of Peers, wish to substitute for this God-like and beneficial influence, the paltry, petty, mischievous intrigues of negotiators, and the more ruinous influence of subsidies and the sword ? We stop, because we see that these topics will occupy us and .he public during the vacation. The Education Bill of Lord BROUGHASI has met with the fate of all its predecessors. At the commencement of the session he introduced it with a short speech, and last night, in a still shorter speech, he mond that it be post poned for the present. Short as the latter speech was, how ever, it contained matter of great importance, and will be read with interest by all who are anxious to remove the greatest source of crime and the greatest stigma of England— the ignorance of the lower classes. It appears that his Lordship, amidst all his official and Parliamentary duties, has not neglected the great object of his life, but during the excitement caused by the debates on slavery and the Canada question, has carried on an immense correspond ence, and received numberless deputations from almost sll sects and parties,relative to his Bill for the general education of the people, the result of which warrants him in stating that , they have come to an agreement on the great features of the measure. The Catholics and Jews being the least numerous parties, have properly waived their objections to the use of the Bible in schools, on the condition that their children are cot compelled to attend when the authorised version is read. Even Lord LYNDHURST, the leader of the opposite party, seems favourable to the plan of esta blishing a Board for carrying Lord Baouottast's system, both as regards general education and Charities, into effect, and in this Lord LANSDOWNE, the representative of the Governmetit on this great question, fully concurs. If the heads of the Church evince a chartable disposition, and yield a little to religious prejudices, as all other classes seem inclined to yield, we shall have to record next see sion a triumph much greater than the emancipation of the Negro Slaves—the emancipation of millions of our fellow creatures from the greatest of all thraldoms—ignorance and vice. •cis las Lord BROUGHAM referred, in the House of Lor night, to a petition which he had received on the subject of Slave Emancipation, which stated that while the Wes, Lai. Legislatures affected freely to concede liberty to the negroes, yet that, under the pretence of pass ing police regulations, they sought by indirect means to render the yoke of the coloured race as galling as ever. This is a state of things for which we were not unprepared. The planters have inflicted too many wrong• on the Negroes ever to forgive them ; and therefore it would be the excess of folly to expect them to carry the new system into effectual operation. To-:sorrow we shall otr;_r a few remarks upon this subject—in the meantime th a nking Lord BROUGHAM for directing our attention to it. The Canada Indemnity Bill caused a long debate last night in the House of Commons, and then was passed through the Committee, without any amendments. Lord JouN RUSSELL admitted the illegality of the ordinance, so fir as Bermuda is concerned, but contended at great length that the law intended to confer, and had conferred the power on Lord DURHAM to pass the other part of the ordinance. He did not, however, insist on pledging the House of COUTIDO;!S to that view, on account of the lateness of the scszion, and the impossibility of coPecting such a number of Members as would give force and dignity to a decision of the House. He decided, therefore, on taking the law as it had been do:dared by his opponents, and accepting the Bill of In demnity. We see on the same night, then, the curious spgctaele of a Bill drawn up and passed through all its stageS in the House of Lords without being read by the Lords (the Schedule of Debtors Bill), and we see another Bill passed by the House of Commotas which is at the same time declared to be repugnant. to the opinion of him who promotes it. This is legislation—the greatest effort of human wisdom, and thus are made those laws which are supposed to regulate the course of society, in the absence or in defi ance of the laws of nature. Lord JOHN RUSSELL man- fully admitted, as we yesterday stated, that the terms of the ordinance are not altogether to be justified, but he defended, as we have done, their spirit and intention, at great length. He spoke at one time of whoever might have to administer the government of Canada, as if he ex pected that Lord DURHAM would resign, but at the close of his speech his language seemed to imply a hope that the Noble Earl will continuo to administer the affairs of the Province, assured of the full support of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and the great party which follows him in the House of Commons. It may not, therefore, be so certain as we have ventured to anticipate that Lord DURHAM will return immediately to England. He may possibly consider that his honour is pledged to endeavour to restore Canada completely to tranquillity, and may find in the rebuff he has received from the Peers only a stimulus to be more zealous, but at the same time more cautious. We see, with deep regret, that two females, found guilty of infanticide at Chester, have been left for execu tion by Mr. Baron GURNEY , who cautioned the mnot to en t er tain the least hope of th e least miti gation of their s entence. We join, howeve r, with the Herald in express ing a fervent prayer, that her MAJESTY will not allow the law to take its bloody course. If there be one crime com mitted by a human being which in j ures no one somuch as the criminal, it is surely that of the mother who deprives her own new-born infant, whose eye has never opened on the light of heaven, of life, and thereby deprives herself of all a mother's joys. There is in the cases, however, of the two women a great differen ce, which makes us again com plain of the gross genera lization of the law . Not , however, to pursue tha t to p ic when i t is in dispensible to plead in the firs t instance for mercy— . thoug-h the errors of the law might ma ke j ud ges and law makers have seine tenderness fOr the errors—awful ones though they be—of young and misled females, we only now advert to the subject to implore her Majesty's Ministers not to disgrace her virgin reign by consigning females to the gallows for a crime which, however revolting to our feelings, must be considered as one which inflicts the least injury on others and on society—a crime, too, which in the much prized days of antiquity was a common practice, and is yet i n some countries not classed as a punishable offence. The Paris Journals of Monday are as destitute of in teresting intelligence as those of the whole of the preceding week. A letter from Lucerne, inserted in the Journal des Debals, announces that the Swiss Vorort will unanimously reject the demand of France for the expulsion of Prince Louis NAPOLEON, but that after the Vorort has as serted its independence, the Prince will, of his own ac cord, withdraw himself from the Republic rather than be the instrument of involving it in a quarrel with France. The Dcbats is inclined to regard such a termination of the affair as perfectly satisfactory—a conclusion to which no statesman with a delicate sense of national honour can arrive. • The electors of Douai gave a public dinner on Satin , day to M. ODILLON BARROT. The Hon. Deputy's health being proposed M. HURE, the President, addressed him in words to the following effect : ‘‘ You have combatted the September laws, those laws a hundred times more fatal to freedom than ever were the ordinances of July. These laws were passed under the pretext of giving strength to the Go vernment in a time of anarchy and disorder. But fortune has led you here to observe the most deplorable use that could be made of such laws. They have been here put in activity at a moment not of disorder, but of tranquillity, say, almost of political slumber; and not only these laws, but the most liberticide decrees of the empire and the restoration, have been resuscitated here to crush the Press. The conduct of the Govern ment has need of being denounced from the national tribune, and to you the Liberals of Douai commit this task." When it is recollected that this language was employed at a public dinner in France, the strong feeling of opposi tion which the conduct has excited will be readily ima gined. For the speech of the Hon. Deputy we have not space in the present crowded state of our columns, but it was well calculated to raise a storm against the policy of the KING and his Cabinet. The only news received from Spain wi►l be found in the subjoined extracts from the journals : The accounts from the Royal head-quarters in Spain are of the Gth. No change has taken place in the situation of the armies before Estella. The Christino General Alaix had left Pampcluna with some troops and artillery to enter the Carrascal. As for the affair of Arragon, the letters from Saragossa of the 4th add no information to what has already been received. The Christinos are bringing up artillery to Morella, but the attack on that place has not yet commenced. LOGRONO, Juts 30.—Independently of the resistance which the rebels will make to the Constitutionalists in Estella itself, there are on the adjacent heights five redoubts which must be successively attacked before reaching Estella; the ground for a league and a half is much broken, and favourable to the kind of warfare carried on by the rebels. It will likewise be necessary to throw a bridge over a river, and it will cost more than one combat to reach the summit of Mount lurra, where Marota intends to post himself; but the bravery of our soldiers will overcome all these obstacles. If General Espartero were to resign at this moment it would be a real calamity for the country.—Eco del Co- 'nerd°. VIENNA, Aun. 4.—Their Imperial Majesties and his Imperial High ness the Archduke Francis Charles and suite, left Schonbrunn this morn ing for Italy. Prince Metternich will leave on the Sth to follow the Court to Inspruck. M. Muhlendorff, the North American Minister, has paid his first visit to Prince Metternich, but will not have his formal audience until the return of the Court. We expect shortly the publication of an Imperial resolution, by which the disbanding of another division of the battalion of the Landwchr is ordered; consequently only one division of the Landwehr will remain on service with every German regiment. - A second resolution, of great importance, has just been taken; it is to provide the whole Austrian army with percussion guns ; hitherto only some divisions have had such arms. The troops that are ordered for the reviews during the visit of the Russian Grand Duke, are not to be encamped, but to be quartered in the neighbourhood of Vienna. In one of my former letters I stated the pay of the physicians ap.. pointed by the Sultan rather too high—it is to be only 1,000 ducats per annum for each of them.

We have received an extraordinary edition of The Sun of the 6th inst., containing two beautifully executed por traits—the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Soult. The engraving does the highest credit to the artist ; and in France, where it cannot fail to have an extensive circula tion, will represent favourably the progress of the arts in this country, In addition to the memoirs of the heroes, this number of The Sun contains a spirited ode to genius from the pen of the talented editor, Murdo Young, Esq.— Morning Register. The Coronation San and the Double Sun, containing the medallions of Soult and Wellington, at this moment adorn our table. We shall treasure them as specimens of the taste and enterprise of the editor and proprietor of the first British journal that taught by example how to disseminate intelligence rapidly. We trust Mr. Young may reap a golden harvest, ripened in the beams of his own Golden Sun.—Glasgow Argus. We received a copy of The Sun newspaper containing medallion engravings of portraits of the Duke of Welling ton and Marshal Soult. They are exquisite specimens of art, and reflect the highest credit both on the ability of the artist and the literality of Mr. Young, the proprietor of the paper.—Brighton Patriot. We have to acknowledge the receipt of a double No. of The Sun, containing two medallions of those celebrated warriors, Soult and Wellington, engraved on steel, and beautifully printed. The likenesses appear to be perfect ; and their effect is striking and a dmirable. A re-issue has also taken place of the " Golden Sun:" which is printed in the precious metal ; and e mbellished with a medallion, in a novel and beautiful style, of our gracious Queen. In these several publications party politics have been wisely eschewed, and we anticipate a wide circulation for such rare ayes in the achievements of the newspaper press of our country. — Bath Gazette. We have received a number of this celebrated and na tional memorial of our fair young Sovereign's Coronation, which we observe has reached the 24th edition ; a de viand unprecedented in newspaper annals, and which we trust has fully remunerated the proprietors for the first great expense they incurred in their spirited and most praiseworthy undertaking. With the " Golden Sun" we have also received the publication of that Journal of the sth of August, with two beautifully executed medallion portraits of the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Soult, in juxta-position. We shall treasure up this testimonial of loyalty to our Queen, and " honour to the brave" as all faithful subjects ought to do, with reverence and care ; and we recommend our readers who are not already provided, to lose no time in procuring them.—Western Luminary.

William La Roche, describing himself as an accountant, re shing in the Albany Road, Camberwell, was charged by Mrs Jane Tate. the wife of a postman, with indecently assaultingh er under the following circumstances : It appeared from the statement of the complainant, who seemed in a delicate state of hrsalth, that she was proceeding along the Strand, last evening, at half past six o'clock, accom panied by her sue, when the defendant came behind and pinched her:reost severely in a delicate part of her person. Before he came up to her, she saw him assault an elderly lady in a similar manner, end the offence was not committed through the effects of intoxication, as be was in his sober senses at the time. Police Constable Manton, 143 F division, proved that be was informed by a person who happened to be passing, of the circumstance, and on turning round to have the defendant pointed out to him—he saw him behave in the most scandalous manner to three other females of respectable appearance. The defendant declared that he was too respectable a man to conduct himself in the mariner described, being a married man, and the father of nine children, but as the lady hap pened to have been pushed against him by the crowd, she was under the impression that he had assaulted her. Dr. RoniNsoN, a country Magistrate, reminded the defen dant that he had acted in an unmanly way towards other females, who perhaps felt a delicacy in coming forward. He felt it necessary to make an example of any person capable of such vagabond conduct, but he would spare the complainant the pain of appearing at the Sessions by calling upon him to pay a fine of M., and in default be committed to hard labour for two months.
